Im not sure if its oQueue but I noticed earlier today while alt-tabbed my character had been auto set to afk (like normal, I think its about 5 minutes or something) while afk I received a PM from a guildy, when I alt tabbed back I noticed that receiving the PM forced my character to be nolonger flagged as AFK. This is the first time I've seen such an event, I've been running oQueue for some time and I can think of dozens of incidents off the top of my head where I've been kicked from the game for inactivity. I've never experienced an addon forcing me to stay logged in, especially not oQueue.

I didn't read the entire thread as its now almost 1am, but from what I've read so far, I really believe there's more to the story than we've been told and the OP is hiding something.

There are absolutely no plans to stop development of oQueue as long as blizzard does not straight up break its functionality to promote their group finder.

Good, since there's a strong chance blizzard will get their first iteration of the oQ clone wrong. Hopefully they allow addons to link into their new cross-realm LFM setup so we can keep the options we're used to with oQ.

We're not trying to "kill oQueue"; in fact, a lot of us use it ourselves.

Using oQueue does not violate the terms of service, no.

Many people infracted because OP started this thread with knowingly wild claims, many others uninstalled the addon due to these claims. Is it possible to finally be done with this thread?

I read that thread!

I agree. A lock would be nice, since we have confirmation from Blizzard in the forums, that some of their staff also uses OQueue.

Blizzard has made some honest mistakes with bans in the past. However, I'm more inclined to believe the OP would have updated here after enough people seeing the thread where we had a blue clearly state using OQueue doesn't violate ToS.

I have this addon but i never actually downloaded it, wtf? I update my status with 'OQ' all the time apparently, does that mean I have it? I've never downloaded it, I don't even know what it does - getting a little worried now lol.

The only way for it to be installed, is that you installed it... Im not sure what your getting at here but if its in your WoW folder, then you installed it...

Since there are many OQ fanboys in here, can you please tell the devs of this addon to do something with multiple accounts under the same battle.net account? You use OQ in one account and other accounts get spammed as f@@@@ with bnet whispers since there is no addon to filter/consume this. And saying "run OQ in every account is not a solution". Thanks. (being a fanboy means responsibilities as well, not just have the "right" to call others trolls).

Didnt read the whole thread but didnt a bluepost state that they are using OQ themself? It was somewhat recently too, should still be on the front page.

Edit: "A lot of players are drawing parallels between our new Group Finder and the oQueue addon, and that's a perfectly valid comparison. We've been thrilled to see how people have taken to oQueue for finding organized groups, especially in 5.4, and feel that's the sort of thing that the game really should be providing to all players. We're not trying to "kill oQueue"; in fact, a lot of us use it ourselves. We just think that cross-realm group finding should really be part of the core game."

I reckon that Blizzard removes add-ons that they disapprove of -- especially seeing as oQueue is a very popular add-on recently. With that said though, it might have a feature that trickers Blizzards security system.

This is a quote from Lore, a blue, taken from the official forums. I am sure if OQ was in fact considered a bot program Blizz employees wouldn't use it.

It doesn't, Blizz employees use it themselves.
